FART

Can farting is an invaluable gift of health. But if the frequency exceeds the normal limit, discard the wind can turn disastrous. Especially if he came out at the wrong time and place. Do not until you experience it.

Expenditure of gas that comes from the bottom of the digestive tract was commonly known as a fart sound. Term is flatus. Usually accompanied by a distinctive sound, following the smell which is also "typical", which used to disperse the concentration. The smell of flatus varies between individuals also, the smell can change, depending on the composition of food consumed. 

Still 14 times normal According to research, about 30-40% of people in the world have a problem with farting. Most do not dare to disclose it to others, including the doctor, because the problem is considered as a fart something shameful. "Fart it marks the peristaltic contractions of the intestine or that function well," said dr. Robert Tedjasaputra, Sp. PD, an expert in the disease in Jakarta. Therefore, if a person undergoing surgery with general anesthesia, she was only allowed to drink and eat after she could fart. Farting is a sign that the digestive tract disturbances who have experienced improvement. Discard the wind is the process of spending the trapped gas from within the body, especially of the intestine comes out through the anus or rectum. This gas contains various elements of nitrogen (20-90%), hydrogen (0-50%), carbon dioxide (10-30%), oxygen (0-10%), methane (0-10%). Discard the wind that normally about 14 times a day, whether it happens consciously, for example during sleep. In normal human digestive tract contains less than 200 ml of gas. The average gas released approximately 600-700 ml / day. The sound that occurs when flue wind came up when the sphincter any muscle (circular-shaped muscle that closes the anus) participate vibrate during the gas expenditure. While the stench of farts are formed from elements of hydrogen sulfide and other gases that contain sulfur in the stomach. Hydrogen production is the result of endogenous metabolism of carbohydrates and proteins by bacteria. That is why eggs, meat, and cauliflower (which contains sulfur) has a big role in producing a foul odor. The problem is in the gastrointestinal tract. Flatus gas is normally derived from three sources, namely the air is ingested through the mouth, the gas produced by intestinal bacteria (especially colon), and the gas that diffuses through the blood into the digestive tract. Production of this gas will be a nuisance when accompanied by functional disorder or infection along the gastrointestinal tract. Functional disorders can be caused, for example, by air is ingested through the mouth. But this is rarely the cause of the accumulation of gas in the intestines excessive. Gas from the mouth usually only causes excessive accumulation of gas in the stomach. We normally swallow small amounts of air when eating and drinking. The amount swallowed air can be more if we eat and drink in a hurry, chewing gum, and smoking. If the amount is too much gas in the stomach, the gas will be expelled through the mouth aka burp or belch contain nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide from the stomach. Some gas from the stomach is forwarded to the rectum to be issued as a waste of wind. This, says Robert, can occur when stingter pylorus (the muscle that separates the stomach and small intestine) is weak so that when the contractions can close perfectly. There was an excess gas flow to the lower digestive tract. Impaired absorption of lactose is also one of the causes of excessive flatus. Lactose is a sugar that can be digested but the absorption is less good, such as those contained in milk. Therefore, if a person lack the enzyme lactase (which break down lactose so easily absorbed), he could have problems fart. Another source of fart gas is produced by intestinal bacteria. These bacteria produce hydrogen gas and methane when digesting food substances, especially carbohydrates and cellulose is not digested while passing the small intestine. Sources of carbohydrates include wheat (oats), potatoes, corn, and rice. Among them, rice is the most easily digested carbohydrates. Therefore, rice, resulting in less gas. Contrary to the case with carbohydrates derived from wheat, potatoes, and corn. Carbohydrates from foods are relatively more difficult to digest and can still be found in significant amounts when entering into the large intestine. This resulted in significant gas production. Fruits and certain vegetables, such as cabbage and cauliflower, are also relatively difficult content indigestible carbohydrates and produce gas accumulated too much, will gut it out through the rectum. According to Robert, remove wind to watch out for is a waste of wind that accompanied the complaint. Dispose of excessive wind or no wind at all waste can be a sign of irritation of the gastrointestinal tract due to infection. In addition, the increase in gas production in the body also can indicate a disease such as chronic diarrhea caused by certain types of parasites (giardiasis), peptic ulcers, and gall bladder stones.
